New Zealand groove metal trio Alien Weaponry have released a powerful new music video for “Taniwha”, featuring a guest vocal appearance from Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God.
The track appears on the band’s most recent album, Te Ra, which saw its release this past March. The video pairs intense visuals with the band’s signature blend of Māori culture and modern metal aggression, made even more impactful by Blythe’s unmistakable presence.
The band shared:
“We are super excited to share something we have been working on for a while. We felt honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with the mighty Randy Blythe on our song ‘Taniwha‘ off of our latest album, so it only made sense to have him be a part of the music video too! We wanted to create something special for this one, and we are stoked with how it turned out!”
Alien Weaponry continue to carve out a unique voice in the global metal scene, blending traditional haka, te reo Māori, and heavy grooves—and “Taniwha” stands as one of the fiercest examples of that mission yet.
